Revelation: Madani (revealed at Madinah) ยท Ayahs: 14

Introduction โ€” from Tafheem-ul-Quran

A Madinan surah calling believers to match word with deed โ€” 'most hateful to Allah is that you say what you do not do' โ€” and to fight in His cause 'in ranks, as though a solid structure.' It offers the trade that saves from painful punishment: faith and striving with wealth and self, and calls believers to be 'helpers of Allah' as the disciples of Isa were.

Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
